Week Seven: I See The Light

Okay, I realize it may not have been obvious before but hopefully now it is? It's Jean from Spriggan (who I write) with my friend's character Aiko reliving my favorite scene from Tangled. Toward the end GIMP didn't do what I want so I had to trace it onto clean paper so I could color it. The coloring went quite awry but thank God for digital programs.

It's not my most amazing piece, but it will pass. And from a distance it's nice to look at.

Week Seven: A Crossing of Sorts

Trying to do traditional again and it happens to be another couple on the same week as Valentine's Day. That wasn't actually planned but it works. This goes out to another Role Play partner for mine, so let's see how soon she recognizes these two.

They're dressed as Flynn and Rapunzel from "Tangled" and will be riding in a boat reenacting my absolute favorite scene; the release of the lanterns. The background will probably be digital for the sake of my sanity (and not spending a ton of money on dark markers).

Week 2 - Progress 5; Completion!

Alright, there we go! All done, and I must say, I'm once again pleased with it. I'll admit that some of the contrast with the shadows and highlights was added with a photo program, but that aside it's all marker and colored pencils (Prismacolors and Copics for those who want to know).

You know, I love plaid as a pattern but I remembered how much I hate putting it on paper in the midst of this. What was Hidakez thinking when he/she designed those things? Clearly not how big a pain it is to draw them with the stripes actually following the folds and contours (all the official art I see ignores that).

But whatever. I finished something traditional that actually has a background for the first time in forever. I don't know how it'll do in the contest, but to be honest I'm not all that concerned with how I place. I like it and that's the important part.

Music: "Tangled" soundtrack; "I See the Light", various songs from my "Mush" playlist.
